Is there a "best" time of year to buy a rental?
When buying a turnkey property that will be immediately rented out, is there a best time of year?
I assume, with a turnkey rental, as soon as you close on a property you'd want to get someone moved in and paying rent as soon as possible?

Simply put, the best time to buy a rental, in my experience, is when it is the best deal to meet your personal investment goals (cash flow, desired location for appreciation, target price, etc). Time of the year is irrelevant compared to the deal itself - there are always folks looking for rentals at all times.
